Present as Yesterday

The Governor is pleased to communicate to this house the follow-
ing Message

Gentlemen of the Upper House of Assembly

M.^r Thomas Cresap who lives in the Western Part of Frederick
County having represented to me since the last session of Assembly
and before the Indians recommenced hostilities again these Colonies
that Parties of the Six Nations who were then considered as Friends
frequently called at his House on their Excursions to the Southward
and insisted on his supplying them with Provisions and other neces-
saries, I recommended it to him to furnish such parties with the
Provisions he should think necessary for them, and encouraged him
at the Same time to expect that as his doing so was the only way
to prevent their committing Depredations on the Frontier Inhabitants,

reasonable Satisfaction would be made him for such Provisions at
the next meeting of the Assembly if therefore he shall exhibit a
proper Account to shew what Expence he has been necessarily put
to by such parties of Indians calling at his house I hope You will
Admit his Claim on the Publick and agree with the Gentlemen of
the Lower House to make him a reasonable Allowance
